That's intentionally nerfing yourself, though. That's not really the true difficulty of the game when you're intentionally limiting it.

FFVI in its base form is incredibly easy, it didn't need a nerf to make it "easier to access." I suppose the best thing to do would have been to increase the amount of the ABP (or whatever their new translation for them is) in early battles, so here's to hoping that's all they did.

Pretty much what Cyril said, the logic "it's as hard as you want it to be" can be applied to any game. I can make a Suikoden game hard if I never sharpen my weapons but that doesn't really mean anything. A difficulty slider would be a better thing rather than just asking people to play poorly on purpose.

For some other characters, you'd wish you could just remove FIGHT and free the top spot (Sabin, Edgar, Cyan, Mog)

I wouldn't remove Fight from Mog given that his Dance ability is a crapshoot to begin with, let alone actually succeeding at getting him to dance a dance of a different terrain (Mog is a Geomancer/Dancer armed like a Lancer).

At least with Gogo you can (too bad that means you'll have to scroll to use his other commands).

See, I like these. FF6 iOS is basically they took the bottom-right box around the sprite, then streeetched it and made the pixels a little smoother with more pixels!The FF1 PSP sprites at least added details.

True enough, but unlike most games, the challenges are well-known and many people try them (Same with FFX).

And FFT.

Also Dusk Requiem is like the worst of Mog's Dances since its either Demi-wannabe Cave in or the ever more and worse than useless Snare that usually comes up. Elf Fire is unlikely and also used in Forest Suite and Love Sonata (albeit Love Sonata is probably the single worst Dance in the game and Forest Suite is not that much better than Dusk Requiem) and Pois. Frog is the rare effect. Also also, Water Rondo is the hardest Dance to learn in the game (i.e. the only permanently missable one).

Cave In 7/16Reduces one target's HP to 25% of its current amount and causes Sap. It is unblockable, but it will fail on targets immune to instant death.

Snare 6/16Causes instant death to one opponent. Its Hit Rate is 100, and it will fail on targets immune to instant death. It works against the undead, and stalls final attacks for one turn.

13/16 chance of either heavily damaging a unit or plain killing it. It's not great against bosses, but I usually don't dance against bosses (unless it's a boss that snare can insta-kill)

You know, I don't trust FFVI's programming enough to know whether Snare actually causes Death instead of whatever Final Fantasy's equivalent to Expel is (I think X-Zone is the same way which causes the player to miss out on the reward of the Wrexsol fight if they use it instead of doing it the hard way using one of the other Insta Death tricks like Vanish Doom). I.E. Snare costs you the reward of any enemy it removes. That said, Snare doesn't work on aerial enemies (of which there are plenty) either way.

And I believe that Cave in only does 1/2 total HP worth of damage (not like this matters since you can probably two shot most WoB enemies by the time you encounter them anyways and by WoR you have better options like the Setzer + Offering + Fixed Dice combo or level 3 spells).

Either way, this is all academic given that the loss of control alone renders the Dance command all but useless (although I have gotten good mileage out of Wind Song during the fight against the IAF since the healing is still good, plus free and steady, and wind damage is hard to come by).

Seeing that screenshot inspired me to go back and continue my save file on FFIV:CC, which as far as I'm concerned is beautiful, the character sprites and new cutscenes both. I think I'll just daydream of the day Square Enix decides to give FFVI such a treatment.

- Edgar has a blue armor now- Locke's portrait is bitching! (the good kind of bitchin')- Character sprite in the world look weird. Terra looks undetailed and Locke looks just weird.- Behemote and Ramuh look pretty good. Hoping every monster + summon have that kind of detail.
